The first expansion for Warhammer: Vermintide 2 – Winds of Magic – is launching on August 13th, indie dev Fatshark revealed today.

Winds of Magic introduces a new enemy type known as the Beastmen, a faction of cloven-hooved bipedal jerks who, according to Warhammer lore, are intent on destroying civilization and being all around bovine-faced hooligans. After a meteor crashes in the Reikland, the Beastmen rush to its epicenter to claim their sacred Herdstone shrine. The result is a bloody mess of dark cow action, a first-person slash-and-prod in a deep fantasy woodland that is explorable by your collective of heroes. Watch the gameplay trailer after the jump.

They just keep coming don’t they? A lot of games were announced at E3 2019, things that we didn’t know about, as well as stuff that’s previously announced, or expansions to already released games. Now, to the casual outsider, what we’re doing might seem absolutely nuts, but we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of all the PC games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. With well over a hundred of them now in the books, the next year or so looks packed.

Matt: Brendy never made it home last night, after jeering his way through Bethesda’s conference in person. The hotel room is lonely and I miss him very much, but the PC Gaming Show must go on. Welcome to the “I’m the only one that’s here-ah”, where I cheer and jeer at the cheery RPS fanzine’s show by myself.

Brendan Wraithwell: Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.

I unexpectedly starting jonesing just the other day for a bout of delightfully grimdark rat-splatting in Warhammery Left 4 Deadlike Vermintide 2. It’s coming up to a year since its release, but I never got around to the various DLC to date.

Perhaps now I’ll wait until the summer, when the hairy crew known as the Beastmen are set to join the fray in what’s being billed as the first actual ‘expansion’ for V2.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2‘s second chunk of DLC – Back To Ubersreik – is out now, bringing players back to the besieged and rat-infested city from the first game. The heroes were dramatically driven out of town in the first Vermintide’s last bit of free DLC, so it should be interesting to see the old stone walls given a fresh lick of paint, and some new rats to blat. Back To Ubersreik contains three remastered missions from the original game, though Fatshark tease that “There might be more content…” – curious. A not-too-ratty launch trailer scurries around below.

The next DLC for Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will call back to the first game, revisiting and reworking three of the cooperative FPS’s most popular levels. Back To Ubersreik is its name, and making three old levels “Bigger, better, and crazier!” is its game, according to developers Fatshark. They’ve only confirmed one level so far, the game-opening Horn Of Magnus where our four ratsmashers have to blow a big ol’ horn to warn everyone: rats, oh god rats.

I’ve seen more inspired ideas for Halloween events than “let’s do some night-time levels”, but it’s still a pretty good one. For the duration of Geheimnisnacht, every level in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has been plunged into darkness. Geheimnisnacht is “the most ill-omened night of the year”, and lasts until November 4th.

More importantly, there’s also a community-run shitty cosplay competition. (more…)
